简要总结
In this pre and post-intervention study, we will conduct survey using a questionnaire in the community in three study sites, two in Jharkhand and one in Chhattisgarh, having high prevalence of Sickle Cell Disease. The survey will be conducted before and after the intervention to assess the knowledge regarding SCD among the people and to determine the effect of health education. For this, we will recruit participants aged 18 years and above. We will also conduct qualitative interviews among healthy people, SCD patients, caregivers and healthcare providers to explore the barriers and facilitators of management of SCD.
Intervention- The study intervention involves training and health education of healthcare providers, school teachers and local leaders at community, schools/colleges and health facilities. The study will be conducted for a period of two years. The effect of these trainings will be assessed in the community and school. We will conduct engagement sessions at schools, eg., quizzes involving children aged 10 years and above and in the community to understand if these trainings have been useful in improving knowledge about SCD in the community.
